title: Erythroid 5-aminolevulinate synthase is located on the X chromosome.
abstract: The gene for erythroid 5-aminolevulinate synthase has been mapped to Xpter-Xq26 by Southern blot hybridization analysis of a mouse/human hybrid cell panel. In situ hybridization maps the gene to Xp21-Xq21, with the most likely location being on band Xp11.2. The mapping of the erythroid 5-amino-levulinate synthase gene to the X chromosome suggests that a defect in this gene may be the primary cause of X-linked sideroblastic anemia.
